As many of you know I purchase and resell a good number of Husky saws, I went to purchase a brand new "husky" 372xp this evening for a really good price.
Ended up meeting the husband wife combo at a local gas station. Husband stayed in the car, wife pulled the box from the back seat and quickly placed it in the back of my truck and held out her hand for some money. I brought the saw around to the tailgate and began removing items.
1. I noticed the bar cover was red in color and really cheaply made.
2. The bar was grey no apparent markings
3. The owners manual and box had the "Q" missing in every place it said Husqvarna, she literally cut out the "K" the clones use to spell husqvarna
4. No stickers anywhere on the saw, recoil, top cover, chain cover etc.
5. Missing a ID tag, the hole for the rivets were present but no tag.
The saw actually looked spot on to a real husky other than the obvious clues mentioned about. I offered her $100 figuring it might be a interesting saw to play around with, when I asked her where she purchased the saw she said ebay, there was no doubt she knew exactly what she was trying to sell. I hope someone does not take the bait.
